Lilia wants to go back to the safe cave very much, however, after thinking of it for a moment she rejected that idea. She assumed that after the group ended their fight with Luminous Lion, they might go to the safe zone to rest or treat their wounds.
She could not believe that they would die under Lion Luminous. They are E-Rank Mages after all, even though they can't defeat it at least, they can escape from it. If she guessed right, most likely they will retreat to the safe zone.
Therefore, going to that safe cave is not possible because it's also near the safe zone. Instead of them meeting each other, it would be better if she returned to the guild.
Thus, Lilia decided to return to the guild.
She was very satisfied with this trip, it was quite fruitful. Aside from the fact that she completed her quest, she also had the opportunity to study a little bit of Ancient Rune.
She is also pleased with the results of her quest despite the unexpected obstacles but she can surpass it. In fact, she was the one who became an obstacle for Z Brothers and Silica.
Although she did not know what guild she had made as an enemy, either way, she hoped that that group would never know which person who schemed them.
Even though Lilia wasn't quite sure that no one was watching her movement at the time, but for some precautionary measures, she would never take off her robe for the time being.
Come to think of it, this is Lilia's first time traveling alone. In her previous life, she would never dare to do this because her parents were very strict. Let alone traveling, she was not even allowed to go out with her classmates.
They always demand the best from her; friends, ethics, relationships, even the environment all must be decided by them, while the requirements they need are always unreasonable. Therefore, she always felt dejected, because of them she can't make any friends, she was always a loner either in elementary school, middle school and high school.
However, that's also why she always comes out as the top student in the whole school, but she doesn't feel happy about it because the price of being a top student is too much.
She has no right to vote, she has no right to oppose, she has no right to express herself, in short, she has no freedom as if she is a puppet of her parents to fulfill desires that they cannot fulfill themselves. Overtime her emotions accumulated into resentment, she resented their selfishness but at the same time she also grateful to them for raising her to the point of her being 'the best'.
The only thing that can cheer her up is reading novels and comics, she even did it in secret for fear that her parents will confiscate it, she was like a thief in her own home.
But someday she dead.
Although she wasn't sure how she died, somehow deep inside her heart she fell thankful for this scenario. If it wasn't for that, maybe Lilia would never feel this kind of exciting experience.
What can be described from today is 'tensed but fun'
After Lilia got out of Young Maple Forest, she was immediately confronted by a long road where she wasn't quite sure which direction she should take.
According to the previous host's memory, she needs to go to the turning point of the forest, if you're lucky enough you will meet a carriage to bring you to the nearest town.
The nearest town from here is Windgraaf Town, it's also the place where she keeps her luggage on her journey.
Before 'Liliana' entered Young Maple Forest, she stopped at Windgraaf Town first to settling in for a couple of the days to stay and collecting her quest's information, unfortunately, the information she obtained was not enough.
The lack of information not only results in the failure of the quest but also loss of life.
This is something worth learning for Lilia.
Unsure which way to go, Lilia decided to go based on her instincts.
Since her instincts told her to go to the right, she just hoped she will meet a carriage along the road.
...
Two hours later...
"Gosh... I have been walking for two hours yet I still haven't found the turning point, am I in the wrong way?" Lilia exclaimed doubtfully, "Do I have to keep going? I'm not even sure that I'm on the right way"
Another two hours later...
"Dammit, I'm really lost! hah... if only I have a Waze"
Right, when she said that, with her narrow vision, she saw a carriage from a distance of 200 meters away advanced towards her.
Her face immediately revealed happiness, she excitedly waves her hands toward that carriage.
It seemed like the carriage's driver could also see Lilia from a distance. When the carriage arrived before Lilia, the driver stopped his horse, he smiled friendlily, "Miss, do you need a ride?"
Lilia still hadn't put on her robe again, therefore, the driver only saw her as a female. She did it on purpose, after all, every person would be wary if they stopped by a suspicious person.
"That's right, sir driver, can I take a ride?"
The driver revealed a hesitant face, "Sure, only if you don't mind being stuffed with the goods"
Lilia shows a sincerity smile, "Thank you, sir driver" she doesn't mind at all, as long as there's enough space for her to sit.
"By the way sir driver, where are you heading for?
"Windgraaf Town"
Lilia looked down and muttered, "Surely I went the wrong way"
...
Windgraaf Town is a small town located west of the Orion Kingdom. A city surrounded by small mountains and located close to Young Maple Forest.
The town is visited by many mages because this place is a turning point towards Young Maple Forest. Therefore, this city is always crowded and lively every day. Many merchants settling down in this place to trade and sell their various goods.
Mortals and mages mingle in one place, they are busy going in and out of town. Even though it is only a small town, the income of this town is actually not less than a city's in the Orion Kingdom.
Half a day later, Lilia who was inside a carriage finally arrived at Windgraaf Town.
The actual distance between Windgraaf Town and Young Maple Forest was not that far, it only took three hours, but because Lilia took the wrong direction beforehand, therefore, she spent quite some time to get here.
When Lilia arrived in the town, the sun had long slept and the moon stood guard.
She got off the carriage and thanked the driver, of course, she didn't forget to pay with 10 yellow mana stones.
